If you bet the farm — or even just a bushel
of beans — on software from a vendor that later went belly-up, we want
to hear about it.

Redmond Magazine is planning a story intended to help readers deal with
software from vendors that no longer exist — aka "orphanware."
We want to hear your horror stories, your ideas for how to deal with the situation
and tips for ensuring you don't get stuck in the first place.
